HTX Card Show — Nov 13, 2027

HTX Card Show is a two-day trading card show in The Woodlands, north of Houston, built around a large floor of independent vendors. The November 2026 edition fills the Town Center Ballroom at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center on Small Business Saturday and the Sunday that follows, in the middle of Thanksgiving weekend. It suits collectors who want a big, mixed-category room and families who want a show they can bring kids to.

What you'll find on the floor

More than 300 vendor tables fill the ballroom, selling sports cards, Pokémon, other trading card games, comics and collectibles. The mix covers the usual ways people shop a show: vintage slabs, modern chase cards, sealed packs to rip, and value boxes to dig through. Every vendor is a small business, which is the thread the November weekend is built around.

The show is family-friendly, and kids 5 and under get in free. Raffles run through the weekend, and VIP ticket holders get double raffle entries.

Dates, hours and tickets

The November show runs two days, with VIP early access on both. General admission opens at 10 AM on Saturday and 11 AM on Sunday.

History and what's next

The series has been running in the Lake Conroe and Woodlands area through 2026, with a March 21 show at Margaritaville Lake Conroe and further dates on July 4, September 26 and October 24 before the Thanksgiving weekend edition. Next year's calendar already has shows set for January 9, March 13, March 27, May 22, July 3, July 24 and 25, September 11, and November 13 and 20, 2027.

Getting there

The Woodlands Waterway Marriott sits at 1601 Lake Robbins Drive in The Woodlands, TX 77380. Parking is easy, and the hotel overlooks the Waterway. The show draws from Houston, The Woodlands, College Station and the rest of Texas.

Who it suits

HTX Card Show fits collectors who want a wide mix under one roof, from sports and Pokémon to comics and other collectibles, and families who want a show with free entry for young kids and a room that is easy to park at. For shoppers, the Thanksgiving weekend dates make it an easy stop between holiday plans.
